Hearing Teapot even still use the word “wintrading” actually surprised me. A couple of months ago there were a lot of people saying that he'd either completely given up on the issue because ANet refuses to act, or he doesn't want to see his friends get punished. They pointed out several instances of people obviously, actively throwing in the mATs he casted - while live on screen - but Teapot completely ignored them, despite it looking completely insane when people were hopping in place while letting themselves get killed without even hitting back. He stopped talking about it altogether after the last time he promised to talk to ANet so consequences happen. I guess if it's an obvious joke like in this video there's no harm in briefly, jokingly mention it. It's been half a year or so, I can't immediately find the videos that had those accusations and video evidence from Teapot's streams in them. But I am really curious whether there's something to it or not. And whether he ever heard about it in the first place. It's such a hot topic and honestly devastating for the small PvP community because everyone who wants to get into the game mode and starts googling about it immediately finds hoards of people talking about match manipulation, wintrading, gizmo selling, and queue dodging. Happened to me when I first got into PvP and also independently happened to several guild mates of mine who wanted to follow me into the Mists when they heard how much fun I had in the beginning. Edit: I just came across the part where Teapot said that, allegedly, every mAT is being watched by ANet staff who look for irregularities. Not sure if I can believe that but maybe, just maybe, some things have improved a little bit after all.
Err .. can someone enlighten me what 'swiss round' means in the time stamps? I'm from switzerland so I'm swiss, but I don't think it's a swiss tournament :D
Stealth is so broken, there isn't enough reveal attached to utilities. Maybe they should just remove reveal, make it so stealth cancels if they come within 300 range of the front of the player (like get to close to front of enemy player and they're detected)
@@alileevil yeah lets destroy a broken mechanic, that would be great. Thief is one of the most mobile classes in the game. "sitting duck" *teleport teleport teleport stealth superspeed.
@@MajorHuck yea last time I checked, it was holding points that give you a win. And yes mobility is what a thief does. Maybe you should try playing it and see how difficult it is to pull off. Facing a thief is very much different from facing another class. If you don’t have a reveal, it will out dps you unless you are extremely tanky. But get through their burst with blocks, aegis , protection, you will come out ahead. Most gamers complain about stealth classes in almost every game, from gw2 to dota 2. But these classes are one trick ponies and it’s easy to counter them once you know how.
@@alileevil lets be real. anyone who has played this game and has double digit iq understand stealth in this game is broken. Developers have made mechanics and slight tradeoffs to help with that but the core implementation is broken op and whenever u introduce new systems or allow builds to cover their weaknesses while having stealth it becomes broken every time. Easy to see how broken it is, just go to wvw.
I want the relics to be the same thing b4 the change all the bonus effects from having 6 runes should be a relic and it is not all the weapon swaps are not there and a lot of others @@MightyTeapot
@@MightyTeapotare they really going to balance the game around relics now though? If that's the case it seems like they just made the impossible worse
Relics Tier List When?
Weapon master tier list when?
@kissmeifly didn't he do that already??
love that they forgot to add relics to the spectator ui, very polished
tbh who remembers about pvp
Competitive video games is the only place where you can hear the commentator talking about "Cookie Monster the Berserker" fighting.

Berserker finally clapping in PvP 👏
Long live pvp
Looks like relic of Akeem have been changed since that tournament.
Still pretty good, though.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Love me some GW2 PvP. I just wish soloQ wasn't a clusterfuck of unmoderated behaviour.
making new builds available is the easier and funnier part of the equation but balancing it is what's going on take months and tears to achieve! 😏😫😵

Sure let's destroy a core mechanic because some can't counter a thief. Hint, thief relies on burst. Get though that and the thief is a sitting duck.

You wanna hear a joke?
GW2 PVP Scene.
What the heck is going on.
Said everyone in every spvp game ever in this game lol
Relics are bad if u look in wvw a lot have left
PvP is so shit atm. Play meta or don't play at all.
I do not care what they nerf in PvP or WvW as long as they do not nerf the perks in PvE so sick of cry babies getting things nerfed in PVE
We don't need 45k+ dps everywhere, thanks
you people get good builds not OP builds nerfed and I am sick of it how about a big CC nerf that all any one plays in PvP @@xeno942
There will be very large nerfs in PvE lol, some relics and new combos are extremely broken

Why are relics even in PvP? PvP never had rune set bonuses in the first place.
They did
Of course, they did. What are you talking about?
